Follow live match commentary of the Premier League game between Aston Villa
and Chelsea at Villa Park on Saturday, May 11 2013.

FULL TIME Aston Villa 1 Chelsea 2 That game had the lot! Two goals from Frank Lampard, who breaks his club record. Two sendings off. Some possibly damaging injuries for Chelsea. A battling comeback from them, and Villa could yet be sucked back into the relegation mire. Benteke was the difference between the teams in the first half, Chelsea couldn't cope with his powerful running and his side were worthy leaders at half-time thanks to Benteke's strike. Ramires was sent off before the interval, but Benteke, the dolt, joined him in an early bath (not, erm, literally - although who knows how these modern footballers go on) and once it was ten-ten Chelsea's class began to tell. Even still, they needed two fine strikes from Super Frank to do it. John Terry and Eden Hazard look to have knacked themselves for the season. Oh, and there was even a goal-line technology debate when it looked like Chelsea scrambled had the ball over the Villa line. Tough game for them, what with the Europa Cup final on Wednesday - and talking of finals, we'll have live blog action of the FA Cup final any minute now. Thanks a lot for following this one with us. Cheers.

98 mins: Brief delay because a fan has thrown a plastic bottle on the pitch. No further chances and after 98.42 the ref blows for full time. Frank Lampard is the man of the match, and Stan Petrov gets a very kind and warm hand from the fans as he leads the Villa players around the ground. Still some work for those lads to do before the end of the season...

Suleman: "I think there can only be one manager for Chelsea and that is mourinho. In my opinion Torres needs to go as I don't see Chelsea changing 4-2-3-1 formation so there will be only a 1 striker slot available. If Chelsea do get falcao and Andre schurrle striker Chelsea would have falcao,torres,demba ba, possibly lukaku and schurrle. So I think it wouldn't make sense to keep Torres as we would have a striker overload. Lampard I think deserves a another year but can't the same for Terry who I think is past his best."

97 mins: Is this the last chance for Villa? Chelsea get the header clear. Azpilicueta looks like HE has hurt himself as well, dear me Chelsea's physios are going to be busy boys over the next few days.

96 mins: Another ball in, a chance for Weimann at the far post, missed it by a mile. The ball comes off Ivanovic for yet another corner.

95 mins: Chelsea just about clear the Villa corner. All hands to the pump for Chelsea but they cannot get it clear properly.

91 mins: Hazard makes a fine run down the left to get to the byline but, ow, poor lad, he's pulled up lame and he's done something to his hamstring. He is off. This victory coming at some cost for Chelsea.

Maureen Pigram writes: "You are obviously an Aston Villa fan or you just hate Chelsea. Either way why don't you write what is happening and keep your personal opinions to yourself. If Benteke was sent off for kicking JT in the stomach, then so be it. Your comments on the incident is worth nothing."

Angus Craik writes: "What an actor Terry is! Barely a brush - Hardly GBH! He collided with the high foot but dearie me - any 3 year old would simply have laughed it off - instead it was Bentenke off. Chelsea buy the points again! They are a joke."

Ah, football.

90 mins: This game not over yet though, there are seven minutes of injury time. Torres is on for Chelsea.

GOAL! 88 mins: Brilliant from Chelsea! A superb, quick passing move opens Villa up, Hazarad and Cole play a one-two, the latter slides the ball across and Frank Lampard is there to stab it home for what must be the winner. Well played Frank, he's done it, he's broken the record and he might have ensured Champions League football for the club next season. Aston Villa 1 Chelsea 2 (Lampard 88)

85mins: Chance for Villa! Nice strike from Westwood, and a good save from Cech. They haven't had one for a while, in fact this is only their second shot on target of the game.

83 mins: Frank Lampard into the book for body-checking the breaking Weimann. Frank only needs 7890234 more yellows to break Wisey's club record.

82 mins: And David Luiz is the latest to try his luck with a dead ball. It's a nasty dipping shot and the keeper has to palm it away. The ball is pinging around the Villa box, so Ron Vlaar tries a hilariously bad overhead kick. Misses the ball by about three yards.

81 mins: Chelsea look to have a lot more quality in these last few minutes, as indeed they do. Villa giving away a lot of fouls as the nimble Chelsea attacking midfielders play between their lines.

78 mins: Long delay there, and then not a lot happened for a bit while we all waited for Terry to be taken off. Next moment of note is a freekick for Chelsea near the edge of the box and Mata tries to curl a ball around the wall. He doesn't quite get it right and that's wide.

77 mins: Lampard goes close with a header.

72 mins: Anyhow. In all the excitement, Big John Terry fell awkwardly and he has been stretchered off. That's a shame for him.

71 mins: Goalmouth scramble! BUNDLE! Chelsea have a corner... good strength from Gary Cahill who stabs it goalward. It beats the keeper. Two Villa players, one of whom is Westwood and the other of whom is, I think, Sylla, just about bundle it clear. Is that over? Oooh, it's bloody close, let me tell you. Dunno. Maybe. Not given. I think Chelsea might, in addition, be appealing for a handball.

70 mins: Abonglahor on a mazy, but the ball just gets away from him. Plenty of space for both sides. Ten v ten is often good fun to watch, isn't it?

69 mins: Sylla, Bennett and Abonglahor all linking up nicely in a good, sustained move by Vanilla. No final ball on this occasion.

67 mins: Weimann crosses for Delph. Villa have done well to get back on their feet after being floored by that goal.

65 mins: Lichaj steaming down the right, he crosses and Ashley Cole sticks out a leg. The defecltion very nearly goes in, ends up on the roof of the net.

62 mins: I wouldn't bet on a Villa win here, I have to say. I was just about to remark, before the Benteke sending off "if they played like this all season, there's no way they'd be in the basement"... but then a moment of inexperience/foolishness/ill-discipline that has been all-too typical. And now they'll be lucky to get a point

GOAL! 61 mins: Neat run from Hazard, cutting in from the left, he slips it to Frank Lampard. He also runs inside, and for a second it looks like he has done too much, but then he lets fly with a crisp left-foot shot, what a fine strike, and there's perhaps a hint of a deflection off Baker but either way, the goalie has no chance and it's 202 for Frank. Aston Villa 1 Chelsea 1 (Lampard 61)

60 mins: Chelsea suddenly looking like they are going to win this.

58 mins: Benteke off! For karate-kicking John Terry in the stomach. No way! Terry goes down like it was the most painful thing ever, but to be fair it might have hurt. Let's just say that he's made a full and swift recovery. They both went up for a high ball and Benteke did catch him in the tummy. It's ten versus ten.

56 mins: Here's Delph. Villa all over The European Champions (tick tock, tick tock) right now. A bit more composure and the Villains would be home and hosed.

53 mins: Villa break again in numbers. Bennett drills it in from the left, his cross screws off Azpli-- Apiz-- Azizipu-- that Chelsea full back with the long name and it goes for a corner. Cleared.

50 mins: Chelsea making a real meal of clearing it here. Weimann being allowed to roam with the ball in the Chelsea area. He airshots. Now Sylla has a chance on the half volley but he shoots over.

47 mins: Even with ten men though, you wouldn't bet against Chelsea getting one back. Ooh jinks. Alan Smith just said something along the same lines. Maybe we can swap jobs. Or, you know, salaries. Ba and Hazard both having good games.

46 mins: David Luiz is on. Looks like Moses off. Decent play from Mata and Hazard but they lose it and the break is on. It's three on three, Abonglahor down the left but he opts to take on his man rather than passing. Good defence from Chelsea in the end and the danger passes.

HALF TIME: Yeah, so the half comes to an end, quite a bit of controversy, not too much quality, apart from some nice bursting powerful runs from Villa's talented young forwards. Nicely taken goal by Benteke, who might well have had a red card for elbowing. Ramires sent off for a couple of yellows, Chelsea not really at the races and it's all been enjoyable stuff. Join us in a tic for the second half. Aston Villa 1 Chelsea 0 HT

44 mins: The Villa fans roar their fury as John Terry appears to have struck a Villa player in the face, but I don't think that the Chelsea legend meant any harm by that. The ref agrees.

43 mins: But now we do have a red! Ramires with a high challenge, adjudged to be dangerous and he's off for a second yellow. Ha, excellent. Got to love a good sending off. Ramires is doing the old "fingertips touching in pleading of innocence" bit, which always gets a laugh. Silly foreigners.

41 mins: Sylla with a bruising, bursting charge down the middle and there's really only one way for Chelsea to stop him - and John Terry knows it. He clatters the Villa man with a cynical challenge, didn't really look like he had any particular ambitions to get the ball. Red? Nah. Frank Lamparrd points out that Ashley Cole was also back there, and Lee Mason concurs that it wasn't a clear goalscoring opportunity. A yellow card for England's Lionheart. Chelsea's veteran Englsih trio using all their experience there.

Here be the Benteke goal, which was shown on Sky Sports 2 and Sky Sports 2 HD.

37 mins: Villa fail to obey the oldest rule in the book, stopping when they thought it was a foul or maybe a thrown in by the sideline - but ref Lee Mason didn't. Chelsea play it forward and my God can you imagine the whining if this is a goal? Chelsea break, the attack ends with a Lampard shot that is charged down.

35 mins: Benteke into the book for an elbow on Azpilicueta.

Benteke could have got worse than a yellow for this elbow, maybe. Pictured on Sky Sports 2

33 mins: Villa look much the fresher, brighter side. Nice long ball from the right finds Weimann in space but he cannot serve it up for his onrushing fellows. Chelsea look leggy and laboured.

31 mins: Bwa! Cahill tries a piledriver from about 45 yards. It travels about five yards. Nice try.

29 mins: Lampard has a freekick 25 yards out. It's an excellent one, dipping and bouncing in front of the keeper. Guzan gets a hand to it but the ball has skidded off the surface and he palms it... It rolls as if in slow motion, just wide of the post and the goalie also keeps out the follow up from, I think, Cahill. That was a fine freekick, and a good save as well. Fwank will have to wait for that 202.

&lt;noframe&gt;Twitter: OptaJoe - 14 - Christian Benteke has now scored 14 Premier League goals in the year 2013, three more than any other player. Streak.&lt;/noframe&gt;

26 mins: Now Cahill slices a clearance and it goes behind for a corner. Chelsea are rattled here and need their senior players to calm things down for a few minutes.

25 mins: Chelsea sit off Villa and have to scramble away a cross.

24 mins: Chelsea putting some pressure on now with a brace of corners. "You're just a fat Spanish waiter," sing some fans. Not too sure which club they belong to.

22 mins: Chelsea haven't got going at all but now they click. Mata spots a fine run by Demba Ba and chips it over, leaving the Villa defence floundering. Ba is onto it in a flash and shoots, but sharp work from the goalkeeper Guzan to keep that out. Villa hack it away.

19 mins: The Villa fans give it their all in their 19th minute tribute to crowd favourite Petrov, who looks emotional but proud.

Just looking at the goal again, Benteke made a real mook of Cahill there. The centre-half looked like he was wetting himself as Benteke ran with power, pace and swerve.

18 mins: Excellent spell from Villa, who have got their tails up.

16 mins: Good run from Delph, he weaves through a couple of rather half-hearted Chelsea challenges and lashes a 30-yard shot just wide.

15 mins: Benteke is in the game, strong run from midield and Ramires has chopped him down. A clear yellow card.

GOAL! 14 mins: Nice! Benteke knocks down a long ball to Sylla, who playys a neat through ball for Benteke that opens up the defnece. He's able to take a run at Cahill and he's turned him this way and that, he beats his man and now he beats Cech at the near post. Excellent work from the talented young forward. Aston Villa 1 Chelsea 0 (Benteke 14)

13 mins: Midfield hoofery.

11 mins: Villa have a break on, ball in from the left and Cahill swings and misses at it! Luckily for him a team-mate cleans up. I have high hopes for a comedy slip/slide/tumble on this slick surface.

10 mins: Tipping it down up in Brum at the moment.

8 mins: Chelsea starting to find time and space, which is not a good sign for Vanilla. Mata stroking it about, probing and looking to free Hazard down the left, but they cannot unpick Villa just yet.

6 mins: Ball over the top from Ramires, touch from Moses and Demba Ba is onto it. Sidefoots it without the outside of the boot but his flicked shot is well over. Alan Parry says "I expect he'll have one eye on his former club Wigan later." Who knows? Do modern footballers even care what their former clubs are up to? Oh that was offside btw.

5 mins: Ball into the Villa area and Baker is climbing over Demba Ba. Steady there, lad. No foul given. It's cleared and John Terry outmuscles Abonglahor as he breaks down the right.

4 mins: First bit of action for ref Lee Mason as Nathan Baker clatters Juan Mata. He got the ball, but followed through to also get the player, not necessarily nastily but a foul and yellow card in today's money.

3 mins: Good work from Delph, aided by Westwood, as they get into the Chelsea area but the cross is headed away without too much difficulty.

2 mins: Gentle pace at the start of the game, Villa play it around between their back four and the midfield three. Decent stuff from Aston Villa, albeit 60 yards from the goal.

1 mins: Chelsea, playing in black, try a ball forward but it drifts out.

12.45 We're kicking off on time, in fact even a second or two early.

12.40 The teams are out, there's a bit of drizzle at Villa Park, that should zip the surface up a bit. Oh yay, the Telegraph's Alan Smith is doing co-comm duties on the telly. Here is The Smudger'spreview of the game.

&lt;noframe&gt;Twitter: OptaJoe - 11 - Only against Bolton (12) has Frank Lampard scored more Premier League goals than he has against Aston Villa (11). Chance.&lt;/noframe&gt;

12.38 Nice moment as Stan Petrov and his family walk around the pitch to say thanks to the fans. He's retiring and everyone wishes him well.

12.36 Ray Wilkins says that "it is the biggest certainty on the planet that there will be goals this afternoon." Bold. Bold, Ray.

12.35 Predictions, then? Whatever happens, surely it will an improvement for Villa on the reverse fixture this season. 8-0 at Stamford Bridge. One of the all-time Premier League whuppings.

12.30 The position Chelsea find themselves in is "unacceptable", according to Ray Wilkins. Jamie Redknapp "any manager worth his salt, with the players available should finish in the top four". It's always the manager's fault, isn't it? Assuming he's foreign, of course.

12.25 So what do we reckon about playing a League match a couple of hours (well, actually, four and a half, thanks to the evening kick-off) before the FA Cup Final? Bloody disgrace, surely. We should be halfway through a fascinating TV feature about the Wigan coach driver or the City groundsman, not tuning in for this League monkey business. Still, it is what it is. Kick off in 20.

&lt;noframe&gt;Twitter: Premier League - Petrov, who has been battling against leukaemia, announced his retirement from football this week. &lt;a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=AVLCHE" target="_blank"&gt;#AVLCHE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/noframe&gt;

12.20 As for Villa, they replace the injured Matt Lowton with Eric Lichaj. A win would ensure their Prem survival but I'm calling it. They're staying up even if they lose.

12.15 Talking of slim, Lampard is just one waffer thin leetle goal away from equalling Bobby Tambling's club record of 202.

12.10 Shame for fans of physical comedy, David Luiz is not in the eleven. Nor is Butch Oscar, a lovely player IMHO. Still, the absence of Luiz does mean a chance for John Terry, and there is still plenty of talent up in the midfield to support Demba Ba. Torres rides the bench, one of four changes: Luiz, Oscar, Ivanovic also drop out of the team. It presumably means the chances of Terry and Lampard starting the Europa League final on Wednesday are slim.

12.05 It’s the only game in the Premier League today, but it’s a big one for those as are interested in fourth place. That means Chelsea, who visit Aston Villa, and fans of Arsenal and Tottenham, who will no doubt be keeping their eyes on this one. At the other end of the table, Villa looked in big trouble a week or so ago, but are now on 40 points and that, as well as Wigan’s defeat at Swansea, should surely see the famous old claret and blue colours in the top division next season.

The teams are upon us, so without further ado, here are today’s line-ups:
